Brooklyn Gangs Get Arrested After Convos on Facebook

Year: 2012

Since when did gangs go from the streets to the Internet? Nearly 50 arrests were made after police tracked gang activity on Facebook last year. The charges ranged from murder, attempted murder and conspiracy dating back to 2009. Nine of the arrests were of gang members younger than 18. The Facebook war between the East New York crews, Rockstarz and the Very Crispy Gangersters, were put to a hault and hopefully this is the last of the two crews going at each other.
